"GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis stated, 'Parents should absolutely have a say in what their kids watch, and parents already know that seeing an LGBTQ person on screen or in real life does no harm. What does cause harm is government overreach.'"
"Ellis highlighted that 23 percent of Americans under 30 identify as LGBTQ+ and that over 5 million children are raised by LGBTQ+ parents, emphasizing the demographic realities often overlooked in such discussions."
The Federal Communications Commission has initiated a public comment period to consider revising television ratings to include 'gender identity themes.' This inquiry questions the adequacy of current ratings for informing parents about children's programming. Critics, including GLAAD, argue that this move could unfairly target queer representation, suggesting it implies LGBTQ visibility is suspect. GLAAD's President emphasized that parents already understand LGBTQ representation poses no harm, while government intervention could be detrimental.
